I don’t really care if this cerita is already basi….

I AM SHOWING OFF YOUR PICTURES ON THIS PAGE!! *hehehe…jgn mare*

Erumi has changed ever since she started working. Don’t get me wrong….She is still our old Erumi…It’s just that sometimes she loses her mind to WORK…hehehe…

Both of us works in the same company, but different branches and different division. She works where the claims come are and I work where the claims are made…hehehe *jgn mare ye syg* She and I, we love our work…Seriously…. But, work is just too much! They keep on coming, right?

Plus you got to handle some annoying people around, some you have to confront and most of them you can’t avoid.

I thought I was mad doing work until late at night…Balik pukul 10mlm…sometimes 12mlm without pay… Just to finish off pending work that some “bozo” left before they resign… *excuse the harsh words, please* I was done with that period of madness. Finish. Kapoot. Not ever doing that again. But, Erumi-chan Erumi-sama…. She was even worse than mad and insane….She is…too commited to her work…

Its like she’s married to it…;p

So, like last 2 weeks, we decided to do some keje gile…Bought 2 tickets to Sunway Lagoon entered Amusement Park and Water Park…walhal xbawak swimsuit…eh silap…bikini…silap lagi…kain batik… nk terjun dlm ayaq…

Kami pon usha sajala…awek2 separa cun and pakwe2 yg suku hensem kat dalam ayaq tuh….*giggles*

Then we went to the amusement park…rides on ferris wheel, roller coaster (tp xleh lawan fujikyu kaa…hapa kaa…kt jpn tuh) We even get to see the lion   TIGER la ….they kept in a cage in the amusement park.

The TIGER Erumi-chan thought was LION…hehehe *Jgn mare Erumi-chan*

It was quite a mad experience especially when you were not actually ready for theme parks, and then suddenly you decided to go with totally inappropriate attire (read:wearing heels) We suffered foot pain and back aches after getting out of Sunway Lagoon. Headed back to our “supposed to be” place -> Sunway Pyramid. Where there, we decided to get massages at REBORN…New Wing of Sunway Pyramid. A great place to go for pain relieving massages (read: not for relaxation). This was done without any planning too….Main terjah aje budak2 nih… *stressed out people sometimes do things out of their behaviour*

We both spent about RM48 for 1/2 hour of back massage from 2 chinese girls imported fresh from China. They do not speak a single Cantonese nor English…*B.M jgn harap laaa..* But, one of them did a slendid job when she fixed my left elbow back to position *I thought I was going to die trying to survive 1/2 hour massage* (-.-;)

After that, we went to Jusco to buy a few groceries *again at New Wing sunway Pyramid* I bought Japanese rice, salmon, furikake *Japanese dried seasoning which they often mix with their rice* and Japanese ice cream!! Right before we ended our shopping journey at Sunway Pyramid, we bought ourselves “buah berangan” <- Betul ke ni, Erumi-chan? Headed back home at 3p.m…

Imagine such a fast , stress relieving journey all packed up at Sunway…hehehe…*ade gaya ala2 promote gituh*

All in all, it was a great day for us. I enjoyed the trip when sometimes I wish I had my sugar-mommy *which is still in Wakayama* and my 2nd sugar mommy *which is working in Yokohama currently*…Not to forget, my 3rd sugar mommy *now working in Kyoto*  to be here with us…So that we could have made the trip much much much MORE GILA…than we already made it…hehehe *dey, brapa banyak sugar mommy daa….*

This entry may sound more like a promotion for these 2 girls…hehehe…but its not laa….We were just fooling around trying to stay normal and younger…keskeskes….

It is actually a reminder for the future me and to you guys/gals out there, who are coped up too much with work, that you too should take time off and relax *your own style* So that, even though you get frustrated somewhere in life, you will have sweet and nice memories to remember. And at that time, this will help you take your mind off the frustration while recharging your minds’ energy before resuming battle. *hehehehe*

me n erumi

Off to battle. Another 1 day to go. Ganbarou!!!

P/S: Erumi-chan, Did I promote you well? hehehe…I still owe you RM13.80 for that *tooooooooooot* we bought on sale at JJ…♥

The day I changed 3 tyres and a pair of tie rod end

November 27, 2007 · 2 Comments

Please, don’t be surprised…. I didn’t do it on my own…

I was on my way to work on Monday morning when I felt extra bumpy. It gets even worse when I go faster in 3rd gear. Plus it was making such a loud noise, I just couldn’t bear to drive it to work even though its only 10 minutes away. I made a U-turn back to my house.

Frustrated at first, because I had to take half day E.L, I try checking on the tyres when suddenly I found a big pregnant bump at the front right side tyre.

pregnant bumppregnant lump2pregnant lump3mai kar

I prefer to call it a big damn “bisul”. Shocked about it I called up my bro who had been using it on the weekends and my mom who was in the house (still sleeping) because she used it the whole week last week.

I took it to the nearest workshop. They recommend me to change 3 tyres since I was already running with 1 big tyre and 3 small ones. Well, I am using an old “kankei” car. Suzuki Swift. The old one, not the new one. So, there were no more tyres that suit my car’s tyre size. Last 4 months, when I had a puncture on the back right side tyre, I changed it into a slightly bigger size tyre. So, ever since then, I had been running on 1 big and 3 small tyres.

I remember that Apek mechanic saying, “Haiyyaaaa…Ini sikit lagi sulah mau letup lorr….Manyak bahaya…Sulah mati la lu punya tayar” -> Somehow, I could see this coming. Cause, I, neither my parents are the least concern on the tyres life. Which is after I asked Abg. Jesmin, most tyres are guaranteed for its excellent performances only 2 years. After that, take the risk la my friend. (read: Use it carefully if you don’t want to waste money changing so frequently)

I’m not really that certain about whether me using that 3 small and 1 big tyre had anything to do with the lump I was having, but what I was really sure of was, it costed me a lot to replace it. I asked them to replace all 3, for my safety. While the mechanic changed my 2 front tyres, he said that I should change the tie rod end at the front part, because the rubber has worn off making the tyre joints hit on each other everytime I drive and turn my wheels.

Of course, Abg did tell me about this. I had plans changing them with Abg’s mechanics, but suddenly I had to do it even faster. So, rather than doing double work, I agreed to change the pair of tie rod end.

 Tie rod end

So, basically, my calculations goes;

3 Sime Tyres……………………. RM108/pc = RM324

1 pair of tie rod end…………..RM110/pair = RM110

Labour charge…………………..                        =RM 35

Alignment and balancing………………………..=RM20

Total payment……………………………………….. RM489    -> Actual charge RM480

I had to wait about 2 hours for everything to get ready + alignment and balancing of course, which really impressed me alot. Ya lorrr….First time in the bengkel maa…*hehehehe*

Well, at least I got in time to slot for the 2nd half day of work. And I drove like a mercedes right after they fixed up everything…heheheh…No more of the rattlings, no more noise…ONLY smooth driving. Lepas ni I jerla jadi driver…hehehe..

But, all in all, it was a very good experience. I have been listening and being a passive observer berofre when all the engineers and technicians (most of them, male of course) talk about engines and cars, well, after experiencing it myself, at least I could get the picture of whatever they are talking about. *at least I think I could la*

And I learnt that if money couldn’t buy LIFE (Soul) ….It could at least help us buy our safety while driving. So, spending a bit I guess won’t hurt that much (^-^v) *thought I think some may not agree….sekati laa*

A tie rod makes the wheels of your vehicle turn by sending the force made by the rack gear to the steering knuckle.

Wonderful weekend *droolllss*

The weekend after getting Bonus (^3^v)

Me am not exagerating or anything. Bonus was out on Thursday. Alhamdulillah…rezeki. Whatever amount anyone got, is rezeki. Therefore, I thought of sharing the rezeki with loved ones.

Mom went to Johore this weekend with lil bro. That means, the house is left to dad, bro, me, granma and the maid.

Dad and his work, while bro with his assignment+ the awek from Penang. While me? Out with Abg la…

You see, I enjoy doing something more outdoor like fishing orgoing to the beach. But, my restrictions are my Abg have to work even on weekends (due to prod. matters). Even if I get to spend time with him, I so kesian la…he will have to cut his sleep and resting hours just for me. For that reason, I can’t really force him to bring me fishing or to the beach, which in this case will take up a lot of his energy. So, this weekend, we decided to give away money to OneUtama….hehehe (ronggeng la tuh…)

1. Movies at GSC -> I stopped watching 18SG after Hills Have No Eyes2 and 30 Nights…So we decided to watch Orang Minyak….I wanted to watch Stardust or Bee Movie…You know….the simple ones….But it was much to a bore for Abg since there’s no action to it…

2. Lunch at Yoshinoya -> He wanted to eat nice salmon. We did last 2 weeks went for lunch at Fish&Co. but they didn’t serve fresh salmon. It was the frozen one, so it didn’t taste that nice. So, I brought him to Yoshinoya for Salmon-Don… Yup! He was satisfied… Japanese meals are always delicious and fresh…hehehe…

3. Karaoke at Neeway -> Yup, due to Yong’s request, I did a survey on Neeway and found out *jeng jeng* that it was much metter than RedBox…So, to Yong and Rina…or those die-hard karaoke fans…(I surely know my schoolmates love to karaoke) who prefer variety of Malay songs, Neeway’s a good place cause they have variety of Malays and other language and country songs. Plus, the price is cheaper! *yipeee!* On a Saturday, I spent about 2.5 hours (free time actually) before 7 for 2 with 1 drink and 1 meal each person, I only had to pay RM60. Affordable and the environment is okay larr….Not so dark, you know… The only thing is that the toilet is with no water (typical, chinese style-> reminds me of Japanese karaoke) Well, this type of toilet at Neeway only applies in OneUtama. Since, I haven’t been to other places’s Neeway yet…

4. Dinner at Kg. Delek-> This is indeed my favourite part. Malaysian Kampung food, peeps! It has always been the best. The malay saying goes, “Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujanbatu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik di negeri sendiri” Though I may crave for Sushi almost every week. But, serve me traditional Kampung food….It will give me a full stomach better than any shushi they serve in Japan…heehhhe (^-^v)

Went back home at 10.30 pm..had to use Kesas, since thay closed the road heading to Fed. highway *sigh* Went through a road block that night. Nothing special happened, though the protest by the Hindus were on this weekend. Didn’t get caught in any traffic caused by them. So, it all ends well, Alhamdulillah.

5. Next day, brought Kura2 -> Abg’s ex-satria (that’s what u call it when nothing made in Malaysia is left after make-over) for a wash….Wanted to do a car polish and wax….But it would have taken 1 hour, so, skipped that and head to Sg. Wei to fetch Abg. *hisshh…sometimes, I feel like we are married* Well, since last night, after the karaoke, he had a headache and I worried about him driving back to Klang alone, so, I drove him home at took Kure2 back home with me. Since he had to work on Sunday, so I fetched him, had dinner at Warung Rindu (Kerinchi->Rina, Ina and Elmi had been here) and he drove back home.

Tomorrow is another working day for all of us. So he sent me off early.hehehe….Watched the semi-finals of Juara Lagu a bit….didn’t watch the results tho…And off to bed….

In the end, it wa s a good weekend. Everyone is in a good mood. And I am generously not selfish this time.hehehe…

Good nite!

The adorables

November 22, 2007 · 4 Comments

They declared bonus today. Hmm…I have thought so the results would be like this. But, we must be grateful for whatever fate destined to us. Therefore, Alhamdulillah…

Today, I would like to tell you about ‘The Adorables’. I’ll take you to a trip to Kg. Delek.

Delek

The precious, adorable ones. They don’t have any relation with me. But because they are soooooo adorable…I just wish they were mine. Heheheh…

love1

They would go like….

“Akaaaaaaak!! Amek gambaaaaaaaarrr!!”

And they would easily pose in front of the camera. Fighting over who would get the most part of body in the picture.

love2

Did I mention the twins? One of them is the active one and has the sweetest smile. Both of them are very photogenic.

love3

Very hyper-active and I just feel very happy to be around them. Its as though all my stress and problems were away when I am among them.

love4

love5

Children do have the power for relieve. I’ve read once that if you’re stressed out with life or work, you should be with childrens, or better more…..BABIES!

love6

Basically, children carry less sins than adults. They are still pure because they do not know much -> their sub-concious mind is still open. Therefore, they carry more positive energy than adaults.

While adults are more distracted with life *read: duniawi*, we tend to forget the roots. We strive sooo hard during the day, that sometimes we forget to feed our souls. From time to time, we are more further away from the subconcious and unconcious. We focus too much on the outer that we forget about our inner side, our mind, our soul, our “buried” capabilities. As we get further away, we tend to feel stressed out. That’s why balancing is important.

love7

Retreving our lost unconcious self/mind, needs A LOT of re-framing *read:taubat* When we were too focused on the outer, we forget and cover ourselves with sins. These sins, from the tiniest to the biggest, are causing holes in our heart. When we have holes in our heart, that is when we couldn’t find solutions etc. Which in the end causes Stress.

By just looking at the adorables, releases the daily stress. Don’t you think?

If you have kids or babies at home….Try spending time with them…I am sure they’ll become your BEST stress reliever.

Photos taken in courtesy of Abg. Thank you so much for sharing your nieces with me. And Thank you for the lovely and wonderful time. ♥

frutie

My Japanese boss had this fruit on his table. I bet it was out of his curosity to have never seen this fruit in Japan.♥

I was having a very bad mood ever since this morning. It was about my SE who gave me an 8 hour lead time for design. New design and something very2 new to me. I wasn’t trained to do such design and had to complete it before 5pm. Baka! (-.-#)

Some people don’t really care about others. They just want the work to be done. *sounds like top management* But my SE is not someone that BIG. He’s just a normal SE with a GIANT attitude. Don’t get me wrong. He is a nice guy. But his work style doesn’t reflect someone with 5 years experience and Jap-Uni graduate. Something which I can’t seem to be proud of to have a sempai like him. *sigh*

So, I was like one whole day with the muncung on my face (>3<#)

Which is such not a good thing. Because when you carry a lot of negative and bad energy around, you tend to attract bad energy too. Too many holes in you makes it easy to absorb bad energy from others. Therefore, it was a waste of time. I should have just re-framed, get on with life and smiled a lot. In the end, I did send the design to Japan today. It took me about 2 days lorr..hehehe…So much for the 8 hour lead time…*delay jugak*

I learned a lot today though. Did a looooong translation for a friend during discussion with Japanese. All in all, it was a good day in the end. I did got home early. *paksa lari cepat2* Ate early dinner. Called Abg. Alhamdulillah he was in a good mood ♥

Will sleep in early today. Good and enough rest makes a greater day tomorrow.

*Phewww*

Setting this up really takes up some time especially when you’re using a slow and unstable network. Gosh! I really need to sign up to StreamyX.

Anyway here I am establishing myself to wordpress. I was at Livedoor before when I was in Japan. But, since I’m back here in Malaysia, I guess its easier to use something more adaptable to the environment. So here I am trying to catch up with all this Internet-savvy things with so little time….Since I have changed my title from U-student to working adault.hehehe….

I don’t really plan to talk that much for the 1st time. Since my back is aching!

Try to sit and be soooooo patient with wyreless for long hours. *I still have my windows open at 10:30pm!-just so that the wave could come in trough the windows* Please, someone, tell me this is true.

Anyway, I would like to go and get some sleep for tomorrow. Since my Abg kata, “Tidur awal yer sayang” – I just can’t stand that luring voice. Wokey! Shut eye time. (>.<)

See ya tomorrow!

Ending 1st entry.
